Subservience

I agree with some reviewers that there are folks out there who just are overly critical. The movie is "OK"... it's not something I would watch again, and is fairly predictable but there are a couple of tweaks here and there that build suspense.

Some folks seem thrilled that Megan Fox is the star and others like myself are 'meh' about her. This is a good role for her, a robot. ;-)

Without giving anything away, the flick does delve ever so slightly into the whole question of automation taking jobs away from people.

Overall, better than watching paint dry and I've wasted time watching a lot worse than this. If you like sci-fi as I do, then you could do worse.

That's the movie. Megan Fox is an AI robot. She's actually quite believable as a robot. I don't think they could have casted a better beautiful android robot babe. So congrats.

Also, Michelle Zima is a good actor many folks don't know about. I thought she did well given the awful script and dialogue. People should know she is a good actor and has been doing it for a long time.

Ok, besides that...the movie is pretty bad. It's watchable but that's about it. The plot holes are insanely big, the plot has been done a bunch of times. Actually, there's a great Outer Limits episode from the 90s that's quite good "Valerie 23". It's actually better than this movie.

The flick is watchable, but don't expect much. Megan Fox kicks ass. All the haters can kick rocks....shes an icon. Just enjoy the simple little movie for what it is. An overdone AI psycho robot plot. Works to just sit back and relax. 5.2/10.

Nick (Michele Morrone) is struggling to care for his two kids while his wife Maggie (Madeline Zima) is in the hospital. He is convinced to buy the latest home robot and names it Alice (Megan Fox). The robot's new AI learning allows it to corrupt its own programming.

This is almost there. It has the general idea. Robots gone bad is not anything new. Quite frankly, it's getting a little cliché nowadays. The most interesting aspect may be putting Megan Fox into the role. Honestly, this may be her best recent work. Still, this movie has all kinds of little problems and I'm not excited to nitpick all of them. Let's just say that this movie needs a few more spins around the rewrite cycle. This is almost good enough to be fine.

Nobody was likable in this movie,so was hard to care & root for any character survival.

The humans had less personality than any robots,which sums up the poor movie quality.

Many similar movies have been made with this topic,actually better even ones dating to years before special effects improved with technology.

The actors to acting,dialog all just fell really flat with clichés & blandness.

If movies keep getting made about artificial intelligence,why not go bigger & more unrealistic over potential futuristic possibilities? Instead we get a cookie cutter production.

Not something will recommend or watch,again.

Megan Fox plays Aurora, an AI companion, and honestly, it's the most fitting role she's ever had. Her cold delivery and lack of emotional depth finally make sense in the context of the story. Instead of feeling out of place, her robotic vibe is exactly what the role needs, and she delivers (ironically) her most convincing performance yet.

The movie itself is a mix of solid sci-fi concepts and questionable execution. It's not groundbreaking, but it has some genuinely thought-provoking moments. The visual effects are impressive for what I assume wasn't a massive budget, and the pacing kept me interested.

That said, there's a glaring lack of character development for anyone who isn't Aurora. The human characters feel more robotic than the robot at times, which makes it hard to connect with the story.

Overall, it's worth a watch if you're into AI-themed movies or just want to see Megan Fox in a role that finally fits her style. It's not perfect, but it's entertaining in its own way. 6/10.
